⛺ Остров Джарылгач #1. Большой поход! Переправа через пролив

The first day of my hike on Dzharylhach Island began near the village of Lazurne. Dzharylhach Island is located in the Black Sea (Kherson Oblast) and is the largest island in Ukraine. It is part of the Dzharylhach National Nature Park. For its picturesque landscapes and azure waters, it is also called the "Ukrainian Maldives." It covers an area of ​​approximately 62 square kilometers. It stretches for 42 kilometers in length and ranges from a few hundred meters to 5 kilometers in width. The island's landscape is primarily coastal steppes with salt marshes and small lakes. Kilometers of sandy beaches stretch along the shores. The island is home to numerous wild animals and birds. You can get there by boat, motorboat, or rowboat, and even by wading in the hot season. After arriving by bus from Kherson to the village of Lazurne, I headed to the beach. A couple of kilometers later, I reached the western edge of the island, separated from the mainland by a narrow strait. I waded across. I sunbathed for a bit on the beach and then headed east along the northern shore of the island. There, I encountered the first flocks of local birds. In the evening, I stopped at a small oasis and pitched a tent. Thus began my solo hike around Dzharylhach Island, which lasted 11 days. The walking distance was about 90 km. The hike took place in August. Locations: Kherson, Lazurne village, Dzharylhach Island, Kherson Oblast, Ukraine. Content: 01. Start of video - (00:00). 02. Kyiv. Train Station - (00:18). 03. Kherson.
